Special guest star, Arlene Golonga.

Tonight's episode, Dead Air.

Let's face it, Terry, you can't live
with a man for 14 years and not miss him

little. Yeah, I can understand that,
Shirley.

But you said they were pretty miserable
years.

I know.

But there were some good times, too.

I was waiting for you to get around to
that, Shirley. Because you know as well

as I that nothing is really all black or
all white.

Oh, I know.

And lately, when I think about some of
the good times we had together, I get

really lonely.

How long has it been since the divorce,
Shirley?

Oh...

Well, Charlene, I don't think what
you're feeling right now is that

I've had dozens of calls on this show
from women who've been through the same

experience. And most of them come
through it with flying colors.

I'm sure you will, too.

That's what I keep trying to tell
myself.

It's just that... Well, it's... I'm just
so used to being married that it's hard

to think of life any other way, you
know?

Ellen?

Her name is Ellen Blake, age 20, 25.

Cause of death, a single gunshot to the
heart.

Close range.

I guess a .25 caliber pistol.

Sexual assault?

When do you figure it happened?

Oh, 12, 14 hours, maybe more, maybe
less.

Well, 14 hours, that would put it around
midnight, wouldn't it?

No forced entry?

Looks like she let him in.

Or maybe he had a key.

I saw the door open, and I was surprised
that she was home so early.

I just thought maybe she was sick or
something, so I went in. Do you know

of her friends?

Well, just the girls that she works
with.

Maybe it's Pacific Western Insurance.

Right. What about boyfriends?

No, she kept her private life private.

I didn't know any names.

But there were a lot of them?

No. As a matter of fact, there was this
one a few months back.

They quarreled all the time.

And then last night I saw someone. I saw
him when he left. Someone last night?

What time was that?

Well, he left about 11 .30. I was just
taking some trash out and I... Can you

describe him?

Yeah, he was tall and he had blondish
hair and he was very handsome.

You'd recognize him if you saw him
again.

Oh, yeah.

You're speaking about one of the
toughest problems there is. What do you

Charlie? Huh?

I said, what do you...

That'll make your own happiness. It just
doesn't happen, you know. I guess so.

You know, half of being happy is how you
feel.

Hey, Mike, I was listening.

Do you have any prints?

Yeah, plenty.

My guess is they all belong to the
victim.

And I think you're terrific.

You really don't know me.

If you knew me, well...

I want you to remember something, Lucy.

If you don't care for yourself, you
really can't expect anyone else to care

you. I'll try, Terry.

Thanks for calling.

Well, that was a lovely lady named Lucy,
and this is Terry Vine, star of the

number one radio show in San Francisco,
Vine, Women in Song, KYOL 93.

I'm going to be taking some more
callers, but first, let's have a little

to put us in the mood.

I'll be back in a couple of minutes,
Frank.

You got two minutes and 35 seconds,
Terry.

I'll be back when I'm ready, Frank. If
you run out of music, go into your

Terry Vine invitation.

Oh, Matt Billings called. Wanted a
definite answer about the personal

appearance. Oh, no.

I already have.

And Joey called about the format
changes.

Oh, yeah? He didn't like it.

I told him he could lump it.

From now on, you do all the commercials
at the usual fee.

Good. Anything else?

Yes, a call from an irate husband.

You talked to his wife on the show, and
you told her to leave him.

She did.

I did him a favor.

Well, that's what he said. Except he's
mad because she didn't take the kids

her. Well, if she calls again, I'll tell
her to go back and pick him up.

Anything else?

Terry, will you stop with this anything
else?

If either one of the Tylers had called,
I would have told you.

You read me like a book, don't you?

When are we going to get married?

When are you going to ask me?

Oh, if I told you, it'd spoil the
surprise.

Love letters, the usual stuff.

File them, do whatever you want, okay?

Isn't there anything that you can tell
us about Ellen Blake?

Well, just that she came from a little
town in Oregon and she was kind of

innocent. She really didn't talk about
herself very much.

I've never known anybody who was
murdered before. It's kind of hard to

We have a description of a man who was
seen leaving her apartment. He was about

35, blondish.

Oh, that sounds like Jack.

Jack Burke.

He works for a travel agency.

Every time he came to take her to lunch,
he'd spend a few minutes helping me

plan one of my trips to Europe.

Do you go to Europe very often?

Never. Oh, I just make a lot of plans.

Is this Mr. Burke?

Oh, no, that's Terry Vine.

He's the DJ we all listen to. We all
sent away for the work.

And let me know how it went, okay?

So you take that man of yours to Marquis
Menswear.

It's where your friend Terry Vine buys
his friends.

Barbara Tyler's on the private line.

Hey. Hello, Uncle Terry.

This is Barbara.

And I have a problem.

I called my lover three times last night
and couldn't reach him.

Do you think he could be seeing another
girl?

Oh, no way, lady. He's straight as an
arrow.

He was out last night attending to
business.

I only have your word for that.

We're not lying to you, lady.

Not if you know what's good for you.

Can you come over after the show today?

Is that in the nature of an invitation?

No. It's in the nature of a direct
order.

Daddy wants to talk to you.

Thanks.

I'll be there.

Terry, don't let him bluff you out, huh?

I mean, he comes across like a big ugly
bear, but underneath it all, he's a man

-eating tiger.

I can handle him.

Well, I don't know about that.

Trust me.

I don't know about that either.

See you at six.

Where were you last night, Mr. Burke?

Out. Out where?

Just out.

Went to the movies. Had a drink.

Took a walk. Went to a singles bar. Had
a drink.

Were you with somebody?

If I went to a singles bar, I wouldn't
be with anybody.

Did you see or talk to anybody there?
Somebody could identify you?

No. I just had a drink and left.

When did you stop seeing her?

About three or four months ago.

She started going out with some other
guy.

We had a big fight about it. I told her
that he was just stringing her along.

Do you mind telling us about the fight?

Well, it was more like an argument. It
wasn't really a fight.

Look, why don't you talk to the other
guy? His name is, uh, Terry Vine.

DJ or something like that.

You're really a charming woman, Carol.

And if you weren't real madly in love
with Charlie, I think I'd come a

myself. I don't know if I'd mind that,
Terry. I'll bet Charlie would.

He'd probably knock your...

And remember,

life can be exciting, especially if you
remain true to my show.

I'm going to be taking a couple more
calls, but first, let's have a little

music, huh?

Terry, this is Lieutenant Stone.

All right, I'm guilty. What'd I do? You
tell me.

Ran a red light at the corner of Hyde
and Market.

Anything.

Do you know a young lady named Ellen
Blake?

Ellen Blake?

Oh, sure I do. How well do you know her?

Not very well. We dated a couple of
times. Oh, I've got a picture of her

someplace.

Is this her?

Yeah, that's her.

Like I said, she's a beautiful girl.

Is she in some kind of trouble?

She was murdered last night.

What? Where do you get off telling her
to dump me?

Don't blame me. You're the one who uses
her as a punching bag.

If you don't kill her first.

You hear me?

The next one's gonna be you.

Right.

Well, thanks, Frank.

What is that?

Oh, one of Terry's fans.

You put that on the air? No, no, only on
tape.

He always paves himself with a six
-second delay.

See that red button?

Does he get a lot of those?

He gets what he deserves.

And what do you do with them?

Oh, he's got me putting them together on
a reel.

Uncle Terry likes to play them for the
agency boys.

Thank you.

I thought he was going to have that
report for us in the morning.

When was the last time you saw Ellen
Blake?

Uh, three, maybe four weeks ago. I don't
know exactly.

Where were you last night about 11 .30?

I was at home. I remember my answering
service called me about that time to

me some messages.

15 seconds, Terry.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

Thank you.

All right, ladies, it's still Monday,
and a beautiful Monday it is, too. This

Terry Vine, and you're beautiful.

Let's talk about that.

Hi, Terry Vine here.

Could I have one of those?

Are you a fan?

No, I don't have much chance to listen
to the radio, but we do have a fellow

down at headquarters who's a big fan of
Terry Vine's.

I'm sure he'd get a kick out of him.

Would you like an autograph?

No, no, don't go through that trouble.
No trouble.

With love from Terry Vine.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

He's a big fan. You are.

Check it with a witness.

You're late.

I brought a note for my mother.

Come on daddy's in the garden

You're

late he brought a note from his mother

Doesn't exactly have your sense of
humor, does he?

Or one of his own.

When I say 6 o 'clock, Mr. Vine, I mean
6 o 'clock, not 15 minutes later. Well,

I don't have a watch, Mr. Tyler.

Oh, then I'll buy you one.

Take it out of your first week's salary.

Does that mean we have a deal?

No, it means that your lawyers have
talked to my lawyers and my lawyers have

talked to me.

And now I want to talk to you.

The salary is unacceptable. It's my
price, Mr. Tyler. You know, as far as

concerned, disc jockeys are as
interchangeable as spark plugs.

Now, of course, if you don't want this
job... Oh, I've got a job, Mr. Tyler. I

don't need one.

But you need ratings, and you don't have
them.

And one of the reasons you don't have
them is because you've got a bunch of

stumble -bums working your L .A.
flagship station.

Now, you see, you need somebody to hike
your ratings, somebody like me. And my

starting price is $125 ,000 per year.

Can you start in three weeks? I can hand
in my resignation tomorrow morning.

I like your style, Terry.

Welcome aboard.

By the way, I released the story this
morning.

You'll see it in the morning edition.

What's that for?

I saw your knees shaking. I was just
wondering if your palms were slick.

That'll three like him. You can, huh?
Yes.

One hand tied behind me. Oh, you pinned
him to the wall, right? Yeah, you saw

it, darling. You're going to be a big
success, Terry.

Yeah.

You have a flair for it.

Terry, just how far would you go to be a
success?

I mean, what would you do?

Anything.

Anything. Up to and including.

Okay, well, thank you very much for the
information.

Right, bye.

Remember this man?

Oh, with love, Terry Vine.

Yeah, it was Sharon Farmers. That easily
could have been the man she saw leaving

the Blake apartment Sunday evening.

And I just talked with his answering
service.

They did reach him at his home around
midnight.

Somebody had been trying to call him all
evening.

That means he was out most of the
evening.

Yeah. Could have gone home.

Taken the call, then he could have gone
back and killed her.

You seem to have it all worked out.

Got a motive?

Not yet, no.

Allow me.

Medical report?

Mm -hmm.

Alan Blake was three months pregnant.

What?

Three months pregnant.

Paternity suit couldn't have helped his
career.

Wouldn't have helped Burke much either.

He's a married man. He and his wife are
separated.

He's been trying to reconcile the
marriage. His wife is a very wealthy

It means it goes round and round.

Homicide Stone.

Yeah.

Sure, where?

Okay.

That was Terry Barnum.

He wants us to meet him at the radio
station.

He has something he wants to tell us.

Maybe he wants to confess.

Yeah, then don't forget your pencil.

I'm sorry, you'll have to talk to him on
the air.

Angela. Uh, no, no. I don't know any
Angela. You see this?

Oh, that's wonderful!

That's wonderful.

Why didn't you tell me?

I just did. How do you think you found
out? Oh, did you tell Frank yet? Uh,

Frank's not going.

But he's a good engineer, Terry. Oh, I
know he's a wonderful engineer. That's

why I've kept him around all these
years. But enough is enough.

When I go, Frank stays.

Oh, hi, Lieutenant.

How are you, sir?

Listen, why don't you come to my office?

No calls.

You're on the air in five minutes,
Terry.

Yeah, I know.

Would you like some coffee or something?

No, thanks.

Please, sit down.

You wanted to tell us something?

Yeah, yeah.

I did a dumb thing, and I want to get it
straight.

What's that?

I lied to you yesterday about the time I
last saw Ellen.

I saw her night before last at her
apartment.

And what happened?

Well, we talked. We just talked. That's
all.

It had been over with us over three,
four weeks.

She kept calling. I think she wanted to
keep the relationship going.

And so I went over to her place.

And, well, she's a sweet kid, and I
wanted to let her down easy, you know.

Did you know she was pregnant?

No.

No, I didn't know that.

What has that got to do with anything?

Well, that could be a motive for murder.

Oh, come on now. I mean, it could be a
motive for marriage or a paternity suit,

but not for murder.

Well, I guess it all depends who you are
and what you have to lose.

Well, I happen to be Terry Vaughn, and I
have a radio show, and women are my

business, my only business, and why
would I go around killing my stock and

trade? Nobody's accusing you, but I
would like to know why you lied to us.

I was scared. I panicked, and I lied,
and was stupid. That's all.

What suddenly gave you this great urge
to tell us the truth?

I figured you guys were going to find
out anyhow sooner or later, and then,

well, it's better to confess a lie than
be caught in a lie.

Honestly, I swear, Lieutenant, Ellen was
alive when I left that apartment.

What time was that?

About 11 o 'clock.

Could have been 11 .30?

Yeah, yeah, could have been. What about
12?

No, no, not 12. I was home by then. You
can check with my answering service.

We already have.

I thought you might have, yeah.

I have a show in a couple of minutes, so
if you have any other questions, you

know... No, nothing for now.

Anytime. Anytime, fellas, really.

I don't trust them.

I almost believe. So do I. That's why I
don't trust them.

It's exactly 3 .14 on a beautiful
Tuesday afternoon, and I've got 30 lines

I think I'm going to pick one up right
now.

Hi there.

Terry?

That's right.

What's your name?

Angela.

Ah, Angela.

That's a beautiful name.

I tried to call you earlier, but your
secretary wouldn't put me through.

Well, I can see you're persistent. What
can I do for you, Angela?

I'm a friend of Ellen's, Terry.

You do remember Ellen.

She was a very close friend of yours
until one night before last.

Uh, listen, why don't you hang on a
minute? I'm going to play some music.

I'll be right back.

Okay.

All right, I'll be in contact with you.

Hey, Terry?

Terry? What?

What was that all about?

Just some broad.

Wasn't she saying something about that
girl that was killed the other night?

I don't know what it was about.

I thought she said something about that
girl.

Frank, I'm the one that doesn't think
you around here.

You're just here to push the buttons.

Now try to remember that, will you?

I told you I'd recognize you.

I'm Angela.

What do you want, Angela?

Ellen was right.

You are better looking in person.

She told me a lot about you.

Like what?

Like she was carrying your baby and how
all she wanted was to marry you and live

happily ever after.

Of course, you took care of that.

You think I killed her?

What happened between you and Ellen at
your business?

And all I want to do is go to Europe.

As a matter of fact, I was planning to
go next week, but, well, I ran a little

short of funds, so I was wondering if...
If you could blackmail me.

I'd consider it a loan.

What do you want?

$5 ,000.

For starters?

That's all I want, Mr. Vine.

I'm going to be in Europe in a few days,
and I'll never see you again, I

promise.

Okay, you got it.

One time, one time only, you understand
that?

I gotta go to the bank.

I can wait.

Yeah.

The homicide, Inspector Keller.

Yeah, I remember.

Where's the station?

Okay, I'll be right there.

He was a very close friend of yours
until the night before last.

Hey, Angela, hang on a second. I've got
to play a little music. I'll be right

back.

What's on your mind?

I thought we ought to get together.

We were both Alan's friend. We should
have something in common.

I don't understand.

Call me, Terry.

The number's 362 -9296.

You understand that?

Yeah. I'll be waiting.

What time that come in?

About 1 .15.

What did Terry tell you to do with it?

He told me to mind my own business.

Mind your own business.

I'll lay you out that she was killed by
the same gun that murdered Ellen Blake.

Yeah. They both saw Terry Vine just
before they got it. Well, we know that

did, but we're not certain that she did.

On Monday, we talked to Angela. She was
just a secretary fantasizing about going

to Europe. By Tuesday, she talked to
Terry Vine. She had enough bread for a

wardrobe and a trip to Europe.

Blackmail? Well, I don't think he loved
her.

Let's rouse him, take him downtown.

You don't like him much, do you?

Not much, no.

Yeah.

What do you say we wait for the medical
report and the ballistic report and then

go en route? Fair enough.

that every time a woman is murdered in
this town, I am the first person you

come to see. Harry, you just look like
the right choice. Look, why don't you

along like the drunk folks talk, huh?

Why don't you talk straight for once,
huh?

Now, where were you last night?

With a friend.

At what time?

Eight, nine.

Well, what was it, eight or nine?

Were you settled for 8 .30?

Miss Atkinson was killed between eight
and nine.

What's the name of your friend here?

Uh, look, it's my new boss's daughter.

Would you give me a break on this? She
doesn't know anything about it.

Barbara Tyler.

Barbara Tyler.

And where does your new boss's daughter
live, Terry?

42 Havenswood Drive. Look, why would I
want to kill this, this, uh, Angela,

whatever her name is? I don't even know
her.

Could have been blackmail.

Any large withdrawals from your bank in
the last 48 hours? Okay, okay, that's

it. I'm not going to answer one more
question. You guys arrest me or you

arrest me, but I've got work to do.
Well, you're free to go.

Just don't go too far. We may change our
minds.

What did you let him go for? Well, do
you have any proof that he saw or met

Atkins? Oh, why, come on. The guy
can't... Evidence, hard evidence. That's

we've got to have. Let's go get him.
Well, if you're waiting on me, you're

backing up.

How did the cops know I talked to that
girl yesterday?

What girl? You know damn well what girl.

I played the tapes for them. I thought
she might know something about the

murder. You thought?

Really? Didn't you know science has
discovered that the beady -eyed, slope

-shouldered baboon is incapable of
thought?

Stick it in your ear, Terry.

Don't you talk to me that way. Hey,
stop!

Come on, pretty boy.

When I'm finished with you, you're going
to look like ten miles of bad road.

Terry! Frank!

Now, come on, stop! This guy's trying to
give me a blessing for murder.

You're acting like children.

You get back to the controls and you get
into the booth now.

You've got a show to do.

When I get through with you, you're
going to be lucky if you can get a job

testing batteries at the five and dime.

What's the matter with you?

Why didn't I work? Everything's all
right.

Now, would you mind telling me what this
is all about?

It's just a routine investigation.

Were you out with Terry Vine last night?

Yes, I was.

Until what time?

Well, if I weren't a nice girl, that
would be a very embarrassing question.

Until about 8 o 'clock.

You remember what time exactly?

Well, to be absolutely precise, Terry
dropped me off about...

Ten to eight.

Now you're going to ask me why I'm so
sure, aren't you?

That's right.

My father was just leaving the house for
an eight o 'clock dinner appointment.

And my father is never late.

Terry, two detectives were just here.

Did they tell you anything?

Nothing.

They asked some questions about you.

Are you in some kind of trouble?

Oh, no, baby, no kind of trouble.

Look, why don't you pick me up after
work, and I'll explain the whole thing

you, okay?

This is Vine Women in Song, KYOL 93,
where you are the star of the show.

And I'm going to talk to one of you
right now. Hi. Is Terry Vine on the

I'm going to kill you, Vine.

Who do you... Do you hear me? The next
one's going to be you.

Hi,

girls.

That little silence was brought to you
by the courtesy of a technical

difficulty. Something wrong with the
phones.

And we're going to play a little music
while we work on it.

Hello.

I want to speak to Detective Stone in
Homicide.

Stone.

Hello, Stone.

Well, listen, when he comes back, tell
him to call Terry Vine.

That's right, V -I -N -E. He has the
number.

Well, Mr.

Vine made a little stop here at the bank
yesterday just before closing, withdrew

$5 ,000 in cash, nothing larger than 20.

11, sir.

And two years ago, Mr. Vine bought a .25
caliber pistol.

Just came in from Sacramento.

Serial number and make.

Oh, the DA's just gonna love this one,
open and shut.

Now we can rouse Mr. Vine.

Hi, Barb.

Now, will you please tell me what this
is all about? Yeah, sure. Let's travel.

Now, I'll tell you what you do.

You take these two ballistics, have them
check these with the ones they

recovered from the two dead girls.

Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute, wait a
minute. What do you guys think of that?

What do we think about what?

You guys are chasing the wrong rabbit.

Whoever it is just tried to kill me. In
other words, tried to hit Miss Tyler

there. Because some guy called me this
afternoon, said he was going to kill me.

If you'd have returned my phone call,
you would have known about it. Take it

easy. Quiet, man.

Do you have that conversation on tape?
Of course I have it on tape.

We get a copy, Mr. Vine?

Why don't you ask your buddy, Frank, and
then do me a favor, will you? Don't bug

me anymore, will you?

Hey, what about that, huh?

You have a feeling that someone just
punched a hole in your balloon?

Yeah, well, I've been wrong before.

April, no, it was May of 71.

Let's just pick up the tape, huh?

The next one's going to be you.

No matter how long you listen to that
thing, it's not going to tell you his

name. Didn't you go to lunch?

No, I just keep thinking I've heard that
voice before.

Because you've been listening to it all
morning.

Yeah, it's like deja vu. I mean, each...
I know what you mean.

Did you get the ballistics report?

Yeah, the bullet we found in the car was
the same one that killed the two girls.

It's just possible that he's not the
killer at all.

It could be just 100 % red blood of the
American crank.

Vine gets those calls all the time,
probably.

You're right.

That's the way I heard that before.

What's it?

Wait a minute.

Barbara's in the sitting room.

Barb.

How are you, darling?

You all right?

You've already seen this, I presume.

Well, at least they spell my name right.

In light of this, I'm afraid we're going
to have to make certain adjustments in

our contract.

Yeah, I thought about that on the way
over.

Well, I'm still willing to go along with
you, Vine, but at a slightly reduced

risk.

It's broken the L .A. papers today, all
of them, page one.

Well, then I'm sure you can understand
why I have to make an adjustment in your

salary.

Perfectly.

I won $175 ,000 a year.

I'll tell you.

To tell you the truth, I was thinking
more like 75.

Mr. Tyler, you don't count me and I
won't count you.

This is worth 20 points in the ratings.

20 points. Free, gratis. You didn't have
to pay a thing for it. And you listen

to my radio show today.

And I guarantee you, this is the only
thing those ladies are going to want to

talk about.

Can you be in L .A. by weekend?

I can be there in broadcasting Monday
morning.

Good. We'll take out full -page ads in
all the newspapers.

We'll buy one -minute spots with cuts
from your shows.

Bart?

Barbara?

Darling, what is it?

Let go of me.

What's the matter?

You're just like him. You have a kind, a
matched pair.

You deserve each other.

Come on, what's going on here?

Terry, two people are dead.

And you're going to use that to improve
your ratings?

Well, I was warning you about him.

Somebody should have been warning me
about you.

Honey, life goes on.

Business is business.

Terry, was that your baby that poor girl
was going to have?

No. Does it make any difference?

Excuse me.

That's none of your business.

You keep your nose out of it. You ever
talk to her again, ever. I'm gonna kill

you, Vine.

If you don't kill her first.

You hear me?

The next one's gonna be you.

I'm gonna kill you, Vine.

You hear me?

The next one's gonna be you.

Frank, uh... How you and Terry get
along?

Oh, cats and dogs.

Had a fight, huh?

If you want to call it that.

What would you call it?

Oh, just a little push and shove.

If it had been a fight, he would have
ended up in the hospital.

Who had this reel of tape yesterday?

Oh, I gave it to Terry.

And where were you when Terry left the
studio?

In my office, checking the log.

Anybody see it there?

Yeah.

Don Morris, the other engineer.

Hey, that's good. I like that thinking.

If there's someone who'd like to see,
uh, Terry Vine dead, you got the logical

suspect.

Uh, did you guys come to apologize?

Well, I have a forgiving nature. I
accept.

Mr. Vine.

Oh, wait a second.

Mr. Vine, Frank told us he gave you the
reel of tapes with the crank calls on

them.

Yeah, I gave him the penny yesterday.
Why?

Let me get her.

call before?

Wait a minute.

Penny wouldn't do anything to hurt
Terry.

She's been in love with him for years.

Well, we feel that someone doctored
those tapes.

Could have been Penny.

Hey, I ask a question.

Shut up, Fink.

You want to talk to me, Lieutenant?

Yes. Where were you yesterday when Terry
Vine left the studio?

I was, uh... I was talking to Matt
Billings about... I think Mr. Billings

long time before Terry did.

Oh, that's right. Um, I talked to him
before he left.

Um, I don't know exactly.

Where were you Sunday night between 11
and 1?

11 and 1?

That's when Ellen Blake was murdered.

Um, I guess I was home.

You guess?

Why, I might have gone out for a little
bit.

What about Tuesday night at 8 .30?

Tuesday?

I don't know exactly where I was.

Hey, what's going on around here?

Mr. Vine, do you own a .25 caliber
pistol?

Yeah, I get a lot of funny phone calls.
It's in the top right -hand drawer of my

desk. I'll get it.

You don't mind if we run a ballistics
check, do you, Mr. Vine? I don't care.

I've never fired the thing anyway.

It's not here.

What do you mean it's not there? It's
got to be there. I'm telling you, it's

there. Well, it's got to be there.
Nobody knows it's here except Penny and

Penny?

What have you done?

But she wouldn't listen.

She said you belonged to her and that
baby.

She wasn't right for you, Terry.

She would have ruined your career.

She didn't understand you the way I do.

That other woman, she was a thief, a
blackmailer.

All she wanted was your money.

She would have taken everything.

Everything we worked for.

You shot at me.

I only wanted to protect you so they
wouldn't think you were a killer.

Oh, Terry, please.

I did it for you.

For us.

Terry, I love you.

I wouldn't let anybody hurt you. You
love me? Are you kidding? Are you out of

your mind?

Get out of my sight. Get out of here.
Terry, don't say that. Are you kidding?

you know you're going to ruin everything
for me? What do you want me to do?

Thank you for it? Would you get out of
here? Get out of here.

Just all heart, Terry.

I'll send you an autographed picture
from L .A., kid. Real hard to forget.

What are you looking at?

The man's right, Terry.

You got a heart as big as your whole
body.

And all of it's solid rock.

That's right, Frank.

I'm all heart.

You just ask any of these ladies in San
Francisco, and they'll tell you.

Any of these hot -eyed, slobbering
broads, and they'll tell you.

Old Terry Vine is all heart. That's what
they think of me, Frank.

You want to know what I think of them?

The women in this town are a bunch of
stupid, insensitive broads with

nothing better to do with their time.

Then simper and whine and chatter into
that telephone about their petty little

lives and their stupid little problems.

And I have to listen to all that drivel.
I got to listen to all that garbage

about their marriages and their husbands
and their filthy little affairs.

Which, by the way, they try to justify
by the use of the word love.

Ah, yes.

Oh, yes. Love.

Most of the women in this town are a
bunch of sweaty, unwashed animals with

feelings of a snail and the mentality of
a sea anemone they are self -indulgent

and they're stupid and they're sick and
the only reason i listen to them is

because i am paid to and i'm paid an
awful lot of money

Hi there, girls.

That was our favorite engineer, Frank
Chiano, doing his famous Terry Vine

imitation. I'm not very well at that.

Thank you very much, Frank.

You're fired.

And this is the real Terry Vine with
Vine Women in Song, KYOL 93, where you

the star of the show.

And I'm going to be talking to one of
you beautiful stars, but it's not an

choice.

Shall I pick this one?

This one, or this one, or this one.

Hi there.

That's right, you can be talking to
Terry Vine right now. All you have to do

pick up that phone and dial the number.

Well, maybe we need a little mood music,
too.

Get us all relaxed.

Frank, you put on a record.

Ah, now, come on, girls.

There are plenty of lines open. This is
Terry Vine, where you are the star of

the show.

And there's going to be Terry Vine on
the line, and I'm waiting.

Ah, come on, ladies. You're not going to
keep old Terry waiting, are you?

There's a Mr. Tyler on your private
line.

Hi, Dad.

No, I know it wasn't funny.

It was just a joke, Mr. Tyler.

Why do we always come here for hot dogs?
Because this is the best place in town.

What are you, a hot dog gourmet?

What do you want?

Two red hops, a lot of sauerkraut, and
that special sauce.

You got it.

Well, there was great chances to wander
with the Rocky Mountain Fans. You'll

break down if this is your old redneck
buddy, Terry Vine, making his day from

across the bay.

I want to tell you, if you hang around
your old dirt -kicking buddy, Terry

he's going to take a little...

You like that, boy?

What'd you think?

I said you like that old boy.

He's all right.

All right nothing. You just wait. In
five years, he's going to be the biggest

disc jockey in town.

I can wait.

I can even wait ten years.
